There are 2 main islands in Phi Phi, one is Phi Phi Don where the main town is, and the other is Phi Phi Leh where the national park is.

Phi Phi Don is a hub of activity. By day, it is filled with longtail boats coming into the island, and by night, it becomes a party paradise with loud music and parties.

Must visit places in Phi Phi Don Monkey Beach, Phi Phi viewpoint, Tonsai Beach

Phi Phi Leh is an uninhabited island, and it is much smaller than Phi Phi Don. It boasts coral reefs with abundant tropical fish, making it a popular diving and swimming spot. There are no hotels on Phi Phi Leh, and camping is prohibited, meaning it’s only accessible by day trips.

Must visit places phi phi leh Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave

*Maya Bay in Phi Phi Leh is now closed indefinitely until further notice.
